Some days I don't cast a line out
You basically have two types of trips
Business ones where it multiple boats paying for their customers who just want to fish and catch fish and really don't care much about surrounding or techniques etc.
Then you have guys who want to learn and know everything you can teach them in that short time .
1st thing is to establish a relationship with customers and let them enjoy the trip . My main goal is to make sure they are getting all my attention because you want them to come back. Successful business is built off repeat customers and that is where successful guides make a living . You don't have to load the boat to have a successful fishing every day .
People have to like the person they fishing with.

All very good points. I have been on lots of guided trips offshore with the same guy. Some better than others fish wise, but I have never felt like he didn't try his best to put us on fish and It's always fun.
